Authorities arrest a city police officer after they say he killed a restrained lost dog by cutting its throat. 11 News reporter Kai Reed talks to the dog's owner and a woman who says she witnessed the incident. Both are condemning the officer's actions.

WE WILL SEE YOU IN A BIT. ONTO OUR BIG STORY, AUTHORITIES ANNOUNCE THE A LIST OF A POLICE OFFICER AFTER THEY SAY HE KILLED A DOG WHICH HAD BEEN RESTRAINED, BY CUTTING ITS THROAT. HE IS FACING ANIMAL CRUELTY CHARGES AND HAS BEEN SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY. THE DOG'S NAME WAS NA LA AND WE ARE HEARING FROM THE OWNER. WE HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT THE OFFICER'S NAME IS JEFFREY BOLGER. HE HAS BEEN WITH THE DEPARTMENT SINCE 1992. POLICE ACCUSED HIM OF KILLING THAT SEVEN-YEAR-OLD SHAR- PEI. THE OWNER OF THE DOG FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THE DOG WAS KILLED IN SUCH A VIOLENT WAY. SHE WOULD NEVER HURT ANYONE. SARAH GOSSARD'S BELOVED DOG SOMEHOW ESCAPED HER BACK GATE IN BALTIMORE SATURDAY MORNING. SANDY FLEISCHER A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FOUND NALA LOOKING CONFUSED AND THIRSTY ON SOUTH GRUNDY STREET. THE DOG WAS MORE SCARED OF NOT KNOWING WHERE IT WAS AND BEING THIRSTY AND DISORIENTED. THE DOG BIT ME OUT OF FEAR. POLICE WERE CALLED AND SANDY SAYS SHE WATCHED AS SEVERAL OFFICERS USED STICKS TO TRY TO CONTAIN NALA WHO SHE SAYS WASN'T BEING AGGRESSIVE. I DID SE -- I DID SEE ONE OFFICER THAT DID HAVE HIS KNEE INTO HER CHEST. IT SEEMED RELENTLESS AND UNNECESSARY. SANDY WENT INTO AN AMBULANCE SO SHE DIDN'T SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. BALTIMORE POLICE CONFIRMED WEDNESDAY THAT AFTER NALA WAS SECURED, ONE OF THE RESPONDING OFFICERS SLIPPED THE DOG'S THROAT WITH A KNIFE. WE HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS. TO SAY WE ARE APPALLED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THIS DOG HAD A COLLAR AROUND ITS NECK WITH TAGS WITH MY PHONE NUMBER. POLICE HAVE NOT RELEASED THE NAME BUT SAY THE OFFICER HAS BEEN SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY. MY ANGER IS TOWARDS THIS POLICE OFFICER. I DON'T WANT HIM TO HAVE A JOB. I DON'T WANT HIM TO GO ON CALLS AND REACT LIKE THAT TO A PERSON, TO A DOG, TO ANYTHING. THAT IS NOT OK. THAT OFFICER'S NAME IS JEFFREY BOLGER. HE IS WITH THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS SECTION. POLICE ARE LOOKING INTO WHETHER OTHER OFFICERS REACTED AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT APPROPRIATELY.
